how about four more years of gridlock in washington? there's no question in my view that we really can't have four more years like the last four years. i know the obama folks are chanting four more years, four more years, but our chant is this -- five more days, five more days. that's our chant. [ cheers and applause ] [ chanting ] you know, we're going to have to come up with a better slogan tomorrow, or a different one at least. i know the president's been trying to figure out some way to suggest he's got some new ideas. because with all these people out of work, with 3 million more women in poverty today than when he took officer, with 15 million more people on food stamps than when he took office, he's got to find something to suggest it's going to be better over the next four years. so he came up with an idea last week which is he's going to create the department of business. i don't think adding a new chair in his cabinet will help add millions of jobs on main street.

but the larger benefit would be to reduce corruption in washington. congressmen get cash for their campaigns. and in return for this, they often give away preferential treatment in the tax code to special interest groups, to company, to lobbies. that is a system of legalized corruption at the heart of american politics. tax expenditures are particularly valuable because unlike actually spending, which has to be renewed in every year's budget. tax expenditures are in the code and the benefit is received every year. it's the gift that keeps on giving. now, since we can't do much about campaign finance reform thanks to the supreme court, why not get rid of what the cash often buys. the largest tax breaks are not to corporations. they're to people for things like home mortgage deductions. even these are vastly overdone or should be limited or phased out. britain got rid of it with no adverse effects. canada never had one. and yet they have a similar rate of homeownership to the united states. but forget about the economics for a moment. just as a corrupti

the protectors of the status quo are a powerful force in washington. and over the last four years, every time we've tried to make change, they've fought back with everything they've got. they spent millions to stop us from reforming health care and wall street and student loans. and their strategy from the start was to engineer pure gridlock in congress. refusing to compromise on ideas that both democrats and republicans supported in the past. what they're counting on now, wisconsin, is that the american people will be so worn down by all of the squabbling, tired of all of the dysfunction, that you'll actually reward obstruction and put people back in charge who advocate the very policies that got us into this mess. in other words, their bet is on cynicism. but, wisconsin, my bet is on you. my bet is on the decency and good sense of the american people. despite all of the resistance, despite all of the setbacks, we've won some great fights. and i've never lost sight of the vision we share that you would have a voice that there would be somebody at the
